PROJECT PLAN Skill Level: Beginner Project Plans: 3D Wood Houses 3D Wood Houses Nicole Francis | 1776FauxFarmhouse PROJECT PLAN Skill Level: Beginner Project Plans: 3D Wood Houses Materials Item Qty 1" x 8" x 8' Unfinished Whitewood Board 3 Finishing Nails 1 box Sanding Block: 40-Grit 1 Orbital Sanding Pad: 320-Grit 1 Chalk Paint 1 qt. Foam Roller 1 Paint Tray 1 Spray Paint 2 cans * Board Dimensions are "nominal". Actual dimensions are smaller due to lumber industry standards. Cuts are actual length. ** Starting grit will depend on board surface condition, a rough surface will require starting with a coarse grit first. Grit is measured in the coarseness of the particles on the sandpaper. The lower the grit number, the coarser the paper. Heavy sanding would require 60 to 80 grit, medium sanding would require 120 to 220 grit, and finish sanding would require 320 to 400 grit. Super fine sanding would be 600 grit and higher. A select/premium board or plywood comes with a smoother surface finish. It is clear or has very few tight knots, and it will have straight and sharp edges. This grade of wood pairs well with other boards or panels better and requires less time to sand and finish. Tools Used 10" Miter Saw 20V Circular Saw 1/2" Drill/Driver Orbital Sander Jigsaw Also Need: Finishing Nailer Permanent Marker 20V 1.5Ah Battery 20V Fast Charger Tape Measure Battery Tip: A 4.0 Ah battery is recommended to be paired with high amp draw tools for maximum efficiency. 2 Project Plans: 3D Wood Houses Lumber Cut List Board* Description Cut To Qty 1" x 8" Large House Triangle Point 18" 2 1" x 8" Large House Sides 14-15/16" 2 1" x 8" Medium House Triangle Point 13" 2 1" x 8" Medium House Sides 10" 2 1" x 8" Small House Triangle Point 9" 2 1" x 8" Small House Sides 6" 2 1" x 8" Top A 10-3/4" x 6-3/8" 2 * Board dimensions are “nominal.” Actual dimensions are smaller due to lumber industry standards. Cuts are actual length. Assembly Instructions Step 1 After making the appropriate cuts at a 0-degree angle for each triangle point, you will begin to make the angle cuts. To get the correct angle, first measure the board and mark the middle at the very top of the board at 3-5/8." Next, measure down 3.042" from the top and mark that measurement. Then flip the board over and measure 3.042" on the opposite side and mark that measurement. Step 2 Move the blade on the bottom of your miter saw so that you can cut a 40-degree angle—line up the top measurement and the side measurement and cut. Flip your board over and repeat the same process. Step 3 Using your miter saw, make the remaining side cuts for each house at a 0-degree angle. 3 Project Plans: 3D Wood Houses Step 4 Next, use your miter saw to cut the board 10-3/4" long at a 0-degree angle. Measure the board 5-3/4" and mark the measurement. Using your circular saw, cut the remaining width off to achieve the desired dimensions. Step 5 You will do the same process as in step four, but you will cut 6-3/8" for this width measurement. Step 6 At this point, you will want to use your pencil/sharpie to draw out the whereabouts of the windows and openings for your houses. Step 7 Using your drill with the appropriate size drill bit for your windows, make pilot holes in the corners of the windows and openings to allow your jigsaw to have a starting point. Step 8 Use your jigsaw to cut out the windows and openings for each of the houses. Step 9 Sand all of your wood surfaces using your orbital sander. For the windows and openings, use the hand sander instead to reach the tiny crevices. 4 Project Plans: 3D Wood Houses Step 10 Once all pieces are sanded, assemble each house using a finishing nailer and the finishing nails. Going clockwise, you will have a triangle piece, a side piece, a triangle piece, and the final side piece. You will adhere Top B to the base and then Top A. Step 11 Use a foam roller to paint the inside and outside of each house the color of your choosing (we used chalk paint). Once the paint has dried, apply two thin coats of spray paint to finish the houses' aesthetics and durability. Step 12 Add outside timer candles and display! 5.

    WORKSHOP 6 Bookcase Project II Routing Dadoes and Rabbets, Curve Cutting, Sanding & Screwed and Plugged Joinery Date/Time: Saturday, Xtember tbd, 9 am to 12 noon Location: Mentor’s Shop Mentors: tbd Content: Follows FineWoodworking.com video “Getting Started in Woodworking” Season 2, Session 4, Rabbets and Dadoes with a Router; Session 5, Cutting Curves; Session 6, Sanding the Bookcase Parts; & Session 7, Joinery with Screws and Plugs. Description: Cutting Rabbets and Dadoes with a Router; Dadoes are square notches cut into the surface of a piece of lumber that hold the end of a joining board. They are perfect when building shelving or cabinetry as a way to join shelves and partitions. For this bookcase project, the dado joinery is reinforced with screws, although that added strength isn't essential to the joint. A simple but foolproof T-Square jig is built to assist in cutting the dadoes. This type of jig is designed to cut exactly 90 degrees to one edge, which is perfect for our shelf dadoes. You will also need a straight router bit. Ours is 3/4-in. diameter because our lumber measures that same thickness. Rabbets are similar to dodoes and groves in that they can go in the direction of the grain or across it. However, Rabbets are notches cut into the edge of a board. A rabbet is used to attach the back panel to the bookcase Laying Out, Cutting and Smoothing Curves; A changing radius curve isn't a section of a circle. This type of curve can be drawn with a variety of drawing tools, including french curves and battens.

  • Tips & Tricks for Project Boards
    Tips & Tricks for Project Boards What are project boards? Project boards are pre-finished, smaller, easy-to-transport, easy-to-store, easy-to-handle craft and hobby boards, available in a variety of styles and colors, excellent for a wide range of DIY home projects. Understanding project board finishes Charred – Our method of charring wood uses the Japanese technique of shou-sugi-ban to create artfully burned boards intended to create unique home décor projects, accent walls, crafts, hobbies and more. Rustic – These project boards are perfect for your next reclaimed-wood project. It's new lumber that has been distressed, primed and painted to have the authentic look and texture of vintage, rough-sawn, rustic barn wood. Getting a clean edge when sawing project boards Don’t own a saw? Ask a sales associate if complementary cutting is available. Most stores will cut as many pieces as you’d like to any dimensions you need. Feel free to bring your project instructions along so you’re ready to take advantage of this service when and where it’s offered. The professionals are there to help! All the cuts you need to make on your project boards can be made with a circular saw. A miter saw and table saw work too – and can save time on large jobs – but the circular saw is your Swiss army knife of cutting. Whichever saw you choose, make sure you’re using one with sharp carbide teeth. A high number of sharp teeth – at least 80 – will ensure clean cuts, while dull blades are more likely to chew up the edges of your wood.

  • Sanding Block Plan.Pdf
    Project: Sanding block plan Page 1 of 25 Sanding blocks plan Sanding the surfaces is one of the most important operations that needs to be done on wooden parts before the finishing. At the same time, sanding is time-consuming and one of the less interesting parts of woodworking. Besides that, during sanding you should keep in mind that any scar or scratch, regardless of its size, can show up after finishing coats of stain or varnish are applied. The importance of sanding is that this procedure removes hand tool or machine tool marks and smooths the surface of wood. This allows the reflective properties of the finishing materials to equalize and bring out the full beauty of the wood grain. By taking the time and care, using correct procedures and good selected grades of abrasives, the outcome will be finish of perfect quality and appearance. In professional workshops, sanding is done with power sanders (belt sander, pad sander or drum sander) or with sanding machines. In small and less equipped workshops, sanding is still done mainly by hand. Hand sanding also must be done on parts with complicated or complex curved surface as well as on small surfaces. Most woodworkers even after sanding with sanding machines and power sanders do the final sanding by hand. For the hand sanding, one of the irreplaceable tools is sanding block. A sanding block makes it easier to hold the sandpaper, maintain flatness of the surface and prolonges life of the sandpaper. Surface on the sanding block that sits on the sandpaper should be slightly resilient.

  • Equipment: This Includes, but Is Not Limited To: • Scroll Saw – Very Important, If You Want to Go the Cheaper Route, Get a Coping Saw
    To start, thank you all for your kind comments concerning my work, I really appreciate it. In this document I will try to show you all the “secrets” to making a custom razor handle, including how I do inlays. I will detail the step-by-step process and even reveal my favorite suppliers and equipment. If you ever thought, “I’d like to make MY own custom handle and not buy one from Mike”, then here is your chance. I’m not concerned about creating competition, if someone else wants to take up the torch and do this for a living then by all means knock yourself out. I enjoy handle making as a hobby, granted I promote it like a business, but that is only because it is such a small niche market that if I didn’t I would only be making handles for myself and would run out of projects pretty quick. -Mike- Equipment: This includes, but is not limited to: • Scroll saw – very important, if you want to go the cheaper route, get a coping saw. You need something that can handle curves. Dremel, Delta, Rigid, and Hawk are all excellent choices. Mine is a Rigid ($180). $80 - $400 • Band saw – not necessary, but nice. A 10” is sufficient. $59 - $150 • Dremel tool – get one! Besides the scroll saw this is the most important tool you will own. Dremel now has a cordless that is variable speed up to 30,000 RPM. It is awesome. I think it is called the Ion, or something, it has a Lithium Ion battery.

  • Wood Surface Preparation
    HF-LRA.054 WOOD SURFACE PREPARATION The key to a successful refinishing job is the preparation of the surface. The wood surface must be smooth and clean; since any scratches will be more noticeable after the finish is applied than they are in the bare wood. Never use sandpaper on an antique. The surface preparation procedure you follow depends on the characteristics of the wood piece and the stripping (if any) procedure you followed. Sanding The majority of the surface preparation should be performed with steel wool. There will be cases, however, when it will be necessary to use sandpaper. If you are working with new wood which has never been finished, it is necessary to sand the wood to get a smooth, even surface. Sanding will also be necessary if the grain of the wood has been raised during stripping. If you must use sandpaper, read this section carefully. Sandpaper is defined by the type of abrasive used and also the size (or grit) of the abrasive particles. The major types of abrasives include: 1. Aluminum Oxide - very hard and durable abrasive grains good for sanding metals and hard woods. 2. Garnet - abrasive grains have very sharp edges, but they are not as tough as aluminum oxide grains. Good for all woodworking operations. 3. Flint - least expensive sandpaper. Flint has sharp edges but dulls fast because of low toughness and durability. Good for woodworking operations. 4. Emery - hard but dull particles that cut slowly resulting in a polishing action. Generally not recommended for use on wood but can be used for final smoothing operation.

  • Review by Kurt Hertzog, Woodturning Design Magazine, June 2012 The
    Review by Kurt Hertzog, Woodturning Design Magazine, June 2012 The sanding block is pretty straightforward to use. Insert the proper-sized punch or dowel under the screw with sufficient extension to support the brass tube, but not be contacted by the sanding media. Clamp the sanding block to the cross slide of your disk or belt sander after you’ve ensured that it is square to the sanding face. Check to make sure the platen is perpendicular to the sanding media as well. The glued-up block is slid on the punch and the face of the block is sanded to the brass. Aligned properly, a sanded face that is perpendicular to the ID of the brass tube will be achieved. I’ve found that the sanding fixture also makes a great cutoff jig. You can use the pilot punch to support pen blanks when using the bandsaw to trim the excess stock away. The punch supports the blank nicely, and the cut is with respect to the ID of the tube, rather than the flat edge of the blank. Obviously, the flat edge of the blank may not be parallel to the ID of the tube. If the blank is already rounded, cutting this way can be done safely without searching for a V-block to support the blank during the cut. Though there are many drill- ing vises in my shop, having purchased some for myself as well as reviewing others as they became available, I can vouch for this sanding fixture. It does what it promises and is available at a very reasonable price.
